I certainly will be, because the honourable member referred to community benefits and complained that the community was receiving benefits from these projects. Now, I can confirm that the same FOI document the coalition received confirmed that there were 65 projects announced that had at that point committed to $35.5 billion in Australian and New Zealand local content, including $1.1 billion in local steel. I think that's a good thing. Those opposite think it's a bad thing. And I also make no apologies for some First Nations communities receiving benefits from these programs, including the program in Wellington, which has negotiated five per cent equity for local First Nations people—five per cent ownership—which I don't think is a bad thing. I think it's a good thing, and people on this side of the House are proud of it.
